Fact. Same old Texans + shitty ass refs = loss. We are one and done at this rate.

Not even mad. We've got to stop keeping our standards so low.
We didn't lose because of penalties, we lost because we didn't play like a top team should play.
If penalties on one drive are all that separates us between the Colts, then we need to be worried.

Yeah, there were some questionable calls, no doubt, but you can't ignore Kubiak's sheer panic at not having any confidence in his defense with Wade out and being conservative with his game plan.
This was point-blank embarrassing.
Glad my ass don't have to go to work tomorrow.

Undisciplined play early on with penalties but that last drive was squarely awful officiating and not our fault at all
That's why you go for the kill down deep. You don't call a ***** run on 3rd to set up a FG to only put them up 4 points. You kill them off.
Come back soon, Andre.

All there is to say about this game. Holy Crap we are playing like crap!
stop just stop....
the texans stunk it up but this on the refs......
we got f'd the entire game. they gave this game the entire time.
the texans got every call against them with the exception of pass int, but they overlooked a ton of indy crap and made **** up as they went along.

This just solidifies that no one will take us serious in the playoffs...and there really isnt a reason to either. The phantom penalties were such bullshit but we shouldnt have been in this position in this game to begin with. Way to go from the 1st seed in the AFC to looking liking a complete joke.

Dont pass the blame. Its all on kubiak AGAIN not having his team ready and his back to craptastic playcalling.
He secured his job with a playoff spot and now its the same old, same old.
penalties on one drive?????r u serious???? there was **** calls on every drive on both sides of the ball. dont be afraid to call out the refs. we have enough going against us we dont need 7 a holes in stripes f'ing us every chance they get......

Look. We were in that position though. Those penalties were inexcusable and the defense is gonna get beat up if our shitty ass, banged up offense can't stay on the field.
I'm sick of hearing this "we should have never been in the position to begin with" **** when it comes to sports. Tough ****, we were.
Oh Bullsh-t. Kubiak called a bad game, he has a rookie 3rd string QB, no #1WR, numerous injuries, and a back up D Coordinator he didnt need 15 **** calls.

Fair, there were other penalties on other drives, but we also had more than our fair share of opportunities to put this team away. Don't also be afraid to call this team out when they don't play like how we all know they're capable of.
We're fighting for a first round bye, and the Colts are racing for Luck, we should have been able to handle the Colts + refs and not have it come down to one score on the final drive.

They had Allen and Kareem on Wayne for the ENTIRE game. I have no idea why they did this, but that's what they did.

The refs didn't rape as much as the playcalling did. Protecting Yates is what the talking heads claimed the run heavy attack was. I don't get the concept. If you can't let TJ throw the ball more than ten times in a game then he will only get better at handoffs.
I'd love to ask Kubiak what he's scared of. Let the kid play for crying out loud.

Did I excuse the refs? No, I did not. I clearly said that yes, the refs screwed us, but Kubiak also made massive mistakes with this game.

Did kubiak take any chances? NO! Championship coaches take some risks he has shown me NOTHING the past few weeks.
He has reverted back to his old self now that he secured his job saving playoff spot.

I realize that most of you won't agree with me but I really do believe I just watched a fixed game. I'm convinced of it and I feel like throwing up right now. I think we just saw the NFL through officiating hand a competitive advantage to the Colts to keep the prime-time game interesting.
The NFL for years has been morphing into something I have a hard time accepting as the same sport I watched as a kid. Tonight I realized that I'm watching something about as legitimate as the WWE.

Y'know a friend once told me that primetime games are usually close because the refs make sure it is so. Sometimes with games like this you gotta wonder what went on out there, too many drive saving calls for the Colts.

I think "fixed" might be a strong word, but it sure as hell feels like the refs had marching orders to give the edge to the Colts.

There is no way that was simply awful officiating. The refs were shady. I doubt it was an order from the NFL or something though

On a slightly different note.
Why does it feel like every time Watt touches the opposing QB it's a roughing call?
Is there some stat on this? I'm sure he has like 5 of them this year and none of them justified.

I'll say it again, the NFL didn't want Indy to get the first pick and take Luck. Peyton is one of their media darlings and the shitstorm that would have created would have been bad press for the league.
I believe the NFL threw this game to attempt to avoid Indy getting the first pick. Thereby keeping Manning with the Colts and having Luck go somewhere else.
Manning is the NFL version of the 90's NBA Jordan.
And, just like the NBA, they have no problems putting the fix in when it helps the league..

You know, everyone wanted to write off anything that NBA ref said when he wrote his tell-all book, but he flat out said the NBA ordered that the refs influence games. That's the NBA, of course, and I think we've all seen how they officiate different players differently. But I don't think it's crazy to consider that something like that could happen in the NFL. As far as officiating different players differently, they've just written that into the rule book now. If Watt roughed the passer, then officiating is dead in the NFL.
It may take a number of years of this type of blatant cheating, but I can stop watching the NFL the same way I've stopped watching the NBA, MLB, and NCAA football. There's always fishing on Sundays.

Part of it is because he is very, very good at going low. It's almost like he was coached to do it or something. Why in the hell you'd teach a player to go low in football is beyond me. It's almost like these coaches haven't been watching NFL officiating.

I agree as well!
There was a moment when Dan O completed a first down pass to Wayne I think and you could see a CLEAR AS DAY hold on JJ Watt! But of course since it would have gone against the colts, THE REFS DIDNT ******* CALL IT!!!
My friend texted me after the game. He said we were going to go one and done. I said yup, we will. Even if we play well enough to win, then the refs will screw us over to where we lose!

I'm going to put a lot of this on the inept offense and curious play calling. But you have to put that entire game winning drive on the officials. You just have to.
Doing this from memory but all of these are questionable calls.
1. Roughing the passer in the first half. "Helmet to helmet"
- How in the world are we supposed to avoid this? Orlovsky ducks his head down to waist level, with JJ already in tackle mode.
2. Illegal use of the hands by JJ Watt on the OL.
- How many times is this a no call? 95 percent of the time, I'd say. He just grazed the facemask.
3. Roughing the passer, final drive.
- JJ Watt being pushed down by lineman, and falls on Orlovsky's leg. WHAT.
4. Pass interference by Quin at the 1.
- Ball was at the 6. We are free to do anything to the receiver inside 5 yards. How in the world is this called?
____
So in all 3 crucial penalties that would have been no-calls in any other game. That entire drive, save for the great 30 yard catch by Wayne was given to the Colts by the refs. That said, we need to really do something with this offense. Timid QB + no WR that can stretch the field + 2nd string RG starting for Brisel = recipe for disaster. We need AJ back in the worst way. Is it too late to call up T.O. before the playoffs?
